    Let’s get Yates back in summer

    Not usually one to pine for former players but this is Jerry we’re talking about. Taken off at 65 minutes today after a rare start and gets abuse every week from swans fans. Fee might be out of reach but we could potentially get him back on loan. Sounds like he’s having a torrid time. Also...

    It’s a shame the season is already over

    At least it was according to a few. Maybe some of you could.. I don’t know… not let your emotions get the better of you? Or see the bigger picture? Or not overreact after a bad result? Or put the phone down for a few hours to collect your thoughts? Just an idea. We’re still in it. Next two...

    Would 2 wins against Peterborough change things?

    As I’m sure some of you know I’ve been a supporter of Critchley all season. I’ve been convinced he’s the right man to take us forward and that, for the final third of the season, he’d be getting the best out of the squad. I’d say Tuesday is the first result that’s led me to really doubt him ...

    Lavery- Lack of service or just not good enough?

    Lavery has been one of my favourite players since he joined. I remember thinking during those first few months in the championship that we had a real player on our hands. Since then it hasn't gone to plan. He's had a fair few injuries and was also stuck out on the wing for the majority of last...

    The idea that we should be doing better with this squad

    Is one of the biggest myths of the season. It’s been an argument made that this squad should be at worst top 6, with some even suggesting it’s a squad capable of achieving automatic promotion. It’s also been argued that the manager isn’t getting the best out of the squad. Where is the actual...

    Only 3 teams scored more than us

    We’re the 4th highest scorers in the division behind Peterborough, Barnsley, and Derby. Considering we’ve not been at our best this season I think that’s a good sign going forward.

    2022 Summer recruitment- where are they now?

    With Rhys Williams being picked up by Port Vale it made me think of where else the other recruits or that shambolic summer have ended up. Here’s the list. Rhys Williams- Port Vale (League 1) Dominic Thompson- Forest Green (League 2) Callum Wright- Plymouth (championship) Liam Bridcutt-...

    Just been recalled by Sunderland from Derby, potentially with the view to loaning him somewhere else…

    Michael Mellon

    Been recalled by Burnley from Morecambe. Scored 15 goals in 27 games so far this season. Could be another one we’re looking at depending on Rhodes situation.

    Clarke-Harris set for Charlton

    Appleton certainly getting some backing there. Fee rumoured to be around 500k. According to Darren Witcoop

    How many would we take to Wembley?

    In the hypothetical situation that we make it to the EFL final, how many fans would we take?

    Can we have a bit of faith now?

    Want to stress this isn’t me running on here to tell everyone “I told you so”. Lots of the criticisms directed towards this Critchley have been valid and I’ve agreed with some of it. But can this result allow some of you to just calm down a bit, get a sense of perspective, and realise that we...

    So how are people wanting us to set up against Portsmouth?

    Away to top of the league who are unbeaten. Can we approach it in the same way as we did yesterday?

    Beesley an anomaly

    He was superb today. Won plenty in the air, chased lost causes, worked his socks off. Have to say I thought his season was virtually done after his poor cameo against Bromley but a bit of luck with Lavery getting injured and a bit of faith from the manager and he’s back in the squad, and...

    Critchley on EFL podcast

    Sorry to be irritating but I can’t attach the link for some reason. Quite an interesting listen even if he does repeat a lot of what he said in his very first interview with Sadler since coming back. I do think he has a genuine affection for the club and the fans and is obviously intent on...

    Thoughts on yesterday

    Not usually one to write a big post following a game, I usually just reply to other posts, argue with some strangers for a bit, and then call it a night, but I feel a need to vent after yesterday for lots of reasons, so even if no one reads it it will be worth while. Everything was set up for...

    Critchley cost us 3 points or saved us 1?

    That lineup was inexplicable today, really baffling how neither Lavery nor dembele started. Ultimately that’s led to us being 2-0 down at half time. The difference dembele made especially makes Critch look a bit stupid to be honest. Everyone in that ground wondering how a player with his...

    The unbearable “I told you so” brigade

    “I said at the start of the season” “I told you we should never have brought him back” “We were never going to do well with this manager in charge” What do these people want more? Their football team to do well or for their opinions to be proven correct? I genuinely think it’s a toss up...

    Husband- “The talent is probably better than the year we went up”

    Interesting comment in his post match interview which shows the confidence that’s been built amongst the group. Whatever you think of Critchley he should be commended for building that sort of atmosphere in the dressing room considering the nightmare of last season. Not sure I actually agree...

    10,000 at home to Stevenage in league 1

    Very good effort that, crowds have been a bit better than I expected for this season so far.
